Guru’s Favorite Snack

While generally compared to beluga caviar, Colo Claw Fish Eggs are a snack of the galaxy’s elite. Our much more accessible boba is a fun way to class up your Star Wars charcuterie board. Colo claw fish were native to the planets Naboo and Odona. In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks used a Gungan bongo submarine to travel through Naboo’s core to get to Theed. Their bongo was attacked by a Colo claw fish, which was then attacked and devoured by a sando aqua monster.  Eventually, the eggs were offered to Han Solo by Dryden Vos in the self-titled film Solo.

Boba’s Better On The Dark And Light Side

The Balance of the Force drink is a harmonious blend of chocolate and vanilla. This shake represents the struggle between the Dark and Light sides of the Force, and the importance of finding balance in all things. The drink is created by blending a chocolate shake with its vanilla counterpart which allows a perfect balance to the flavors. The result is a smooth and refreshing drink that embodies the concept of balance. Just like the Force, the Balance of the Force drink is a reminder of the importance of finding the perfect balance.
